Darwinism and Conservatives

Here is an article about Darwinism and how it has affected politics as well as how we view human life. To quote:

The amorality built into Darwinism, West said, explains why it has so easily been employed by eugenicists of both left and right. Reduced to the material processes of chemistry and physics, life as it is, even human life, no longer seems terribly worthy of respect. "Why not use reason to direct evolution to produce a new kind of human being?" West asked, in devil's advocate mode. "What's so sacrosanct about existing human dispositions and capacities, since they were all produced by such a purposeless process?"

  1. Darwinism is like a gigantic hoover - it sucked the world dry of faith in God! My husband was a major neo-darwinian evolution believer but after two years of listening to me argue against darwinism (and him reading some books I gave him) he's starting to agree that there is a lot that evolution leaves to be desired. It's a theory full of holes, frauds and scientific censureship. He's seeing now that the new "Papacy" (the scientific community) are not the open-minded thinkers he always thought they were.

  2. Yes, it really has had more pervasive influence they one may think.

  3. Check out this month's Crisis magazine for more about "new kinds of human beings." This movement has a name: transhumanism. Very frightening stuff!

  5. Aging is such a noble thing. Why has it become something to scorn? We've lost all respect for our wise learned Elders and all we do is worship Youth. This transhuman stuff is probably a direct result of our youth-worshiping-elder-scorning culture.
